Craniofacial Reconstruction Surgery Cost in India

The cost of Craniofacial Reconstruction Surgery in India typically ranges from $1,500 to $7,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Craniofacial reconstruction covers operations to reshape the skull and facial bones. It is used for conditions present from birth, injury or after tumour removal. The cost depends on:

• Condition: craniosynostosis, a syndrome, a cleft or trauma.
• Number of operations: many children need staged surgery.
• Intensive care: after major skull surgery.
• Team: neurosurgery, plastic surgery and other specialists.

Complex or staged craniofacial surgery, with intensive care, may cost more than this range. Ask for a written estimate after assessment.

Great Ormond Street Hospital's Craniofacial Unit treats:

• Craniosynostosis: early fusion of the skull joints, single or multiple sutures.
• Syndromes: such as Apert, Crouzon, Pfeiffer and Treacher Collins.
• Other conditions: craniofacial microsomia, fibrous dysplasia and midfacial clefts.

GOSH describes care by a multidisciplinary team. In England it is one of only four supra-regional centres. When comparing hospitals in India, ask about the team, intensive care for children and experience with your child's condition.

Craniofacial reconstruction is not a single operation. The plan, timing and recovery vary greatly. A detailed assessment is needed before any meaningful estimate.
